our baby's birthday

Today, I went for my weekly gynae appt, and told the doc that Elvis' dad had chosen 2 auspicious dates for our baby's birth - complete with timings. Apparently, he looked through the Chinese almanac ("tong shu") himself. You must be going "WAH!". That's also my reaction, and my gynae's too! He even asked me if it's accurate since my father-in-law calculated it himself. Haha! But gynaes are used to these "special requests", so i guess he wasnt too surprised about it.

They are 16th & 24th mornings...so doc said 24th coz he's away on the 16th. So our baby Joel's date of birth will be 24 Dec 2007 - Christmas Eve! Also happens to be my parents' 40th wedding anniversary.

Today, our baby is 35 weeks old and weighs 2.2kg. Mama weighs the same. But i'm kinda high on sugar, and needs to fast for a test next week i.e. No food & drinks after midnight the night before.

O ya, today on my way to the hospital, i suddenly broke out in cold sweat on the taxi. When i'm almost reaching the hospital's taxi stand (taxi moving slowly in the queue), i opened the door and vomitted onto the floor with my butt was still in the taxi! And it was a few times...and again when i rushed to the toilet. ALL of my lunch was out! I felt sooo terrible and was teary...so gross!!! It was exactly what i went through during the first few months of my pregnancy. Gosh! But after that, i felt ok. Gynae said it could be motion sickness that some pregnant woman may experience. Maybe the day's errands plus the rain had also gotten to me too.
